RV with Cummins 450 engine with 20k miles new, goes into limp mode on major interstate. I limp into a Freightliner and they clear the code do a def burn for and hour but it doesnât really do it ,charges me 500$. Had to deal w this all this stress afraid to go any further all summer long last year searching for Freightliner repair shops along the way, diverting our trip to be close to a shop, finally take it to Cummins they charge me 4,000$ for fuel rail torquing that they did 2 years prior on a recall, and wonât fix the def problem. I had to take it another 200 miles to another Freightliner where they replace the def head for 1500$ and tell me itâs going to happen again! You guys
